An unexpected discovery at Target this weekend, directly on the heels of the recent AllSpark Transformers finds, was a goodly pile of GI Joe 25th Anniversary wave 5 figures! Leaving with one each, thanks to a generous grant from Preserve friend tmiles, that wave at the Preserve is now complete. Click on the image below for a larger view.

Individual figures from this set will be added in the next several days, and there really are some great ones in this wave! The gold Destro is just a fantastic presentation, and who doesn't love the most inappropriately named children's toy of all time, Snowjob?! Interestingly, not 24 hours later, only several Shipwreck figures, some Cobra Commanders and, surprisingly, several Crimson Guards remain in the store.

Also in GI Joe news, the wave 3 Shipwreck figure that is shipping with these new wave 5 figures is actually a variant! Thanks to hisstank.com, we learned that the new Shipwreck has had the anchor removed from his belt buckle. Investigations of this prove it to be correct, and this variant will also be displayed on the Preserve soon! Posted by charlie on January 14th 2008Share
